It has been much worse and contenders used to be worse about fighting each other, also "champions" were bad about not unifying championship belts. I think now is one of the best eras of heavyweight division. You can find old boxing magazine articles pertaining to the heavyweight division and you'll see a decades long sentiment that "the heavyweight division is the worst it's ever been." You can read that now, you can read it written 10, 20, 30 years ago and you will be able to read it ten years from now.
